The Old Franklin Township Historical Society (OFTHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of Franklin Township and the Plain area in Wisconsin. Established in 2004, OFTHS obtained tax-exempt status and became affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society in 2005. Their mission is to collect, preserve, and display artifacts, documents, and photographs that represent the area's history, while also serving as a resource for local history research and educational purposes.
